Get your students to use irregular verbs and vacation activities

This one we recommend doing as a class while students work individually. Each map has different irregular verbs and vacation activities which your students will use to talk about Hannah and Paul’s vacation. Here are a couple ideas of how to use this activity:

• Simply tell the class what Hannah and Paul did on their vacation. For your beginner students, they need no more no less! Set a time limit, let your students work individually or in pairs, and then have everyone present to the class. You can even vote on the best vacation.
• For more advanced (or creative) students, give them a target for their story. Let’s say something happened after the vacation. For example, Hannah and Paul got married, got engaged, broke up, hated each other, started a relationship, found out they were cousins, whatever it is, your students will tell the story of what happened on that vacation to get us to this pivotal moment.
• To go a bit further, have students or groups exchange their vacation stories and then add to the other group’s story.

*Please note that the map for “Las Wegas” should be used at your discretion and recommended for adults only.
